John Kerschbaum, YEAH!

I recently read the Comics Reporter interview with John Kerschbaum and decided to check out his website. I read some of the "Petey and Pussy" excerpts there and honestly did laugh out loud (I swear I did) at the torture of his parrot character, Bernie. On a lark I decided to join his Fontanelle Press Fan Club and figured not much would come of it. Then unexpectedly I received a package in the mail with the above sketch and the map he recently designed for the Metropolitan Museum of Art (which is insane with detail!). I just thought this was a very thoughtful and smart thing to do. I went out and bought his latest "Petey and Pussy" the following weekend and heartily recommend it.
